Effective Date: March 8, 2026

1. Introduction

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of www.bespokevows.com and any services provided by Bespoke Vows (“we,” “our,” or “us”). By accessing this website or commissioning services, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

If you are commissioning services on behalf of another person or organization, you represent that you have the authority to bind that party to these Terms.

If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the website or commission services from Bespoke Vows.

2. Services

Bespoke Vows provides professional writing and consultation services, including but not limited to:

  • Custom wedding ceremony scripts

  • Wedding vows

  • Speeches and related ceremonial writing

  • Ceremony structure and design consultation

Services may be delivered remotely or in person depending on the arrangement agreed upon at the time of booking. The specific scope of services for each engagement will be confirmed in a separate client agreement or written communication.

3. Nature of the Service

Bespoke Vows provides writing and consultation services only, unless otherwise explicitly agreed to in writing. Unless separately contracted, Bespoke Vows is not responsible for:

  • Officiating or legally solemnizing the ceremony

  • Event planning or venue coordination

  • Logistical or day-of coordination

  • Marriage licensing or compliance with local marriage laws

Responsibility for legal compliance with applicable marriage laws rests with the couple and their officiant.

4. Use of the Website

You agree to use this website only for lawful purposes and in a manner that does not infringe the rights of others. You agree not to:

  • Use automated tools, bots, or scrapers to access or collect content from this website

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the website or its infrastructure

  • Submit false or misleading information through any contact form or communication channel

  • Engage in any conduct that could damage, disable, or impair the website or interfere with other users

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access to the website for users who violate these Terms or applicable law.

5. Client Responsibilities

Clients agree to:

  • Provide accurate, complete, and timely information necessary for the completion of commissioned work

  • Ensure that any personal stories, family histories, cultural details, or other content shared for use in the ceremony may lawfully be included and spoken aloud at a public event

  • Review the final script thoroughly before the ceremony and raise any concerns in writing prior to the ceremony date

  • Obtain any necessary permissions from third parties whose personal information or stories may be referenced in the ceremony

Bespoke Vows relies on the accuracy of information provided by clients and does not independently verify personal details, historical claims, or the accuracy of stories shared during consultation.

6. Payment

Fees, payment schedules, and deposit requirements will be agreed upon in writing prior to the commencement of services. Work will not begin until the agreed deposit or full payment has been received.

All fees are quoted and payable in US dollars unless otherwise agreed. Applicable taxes are the responsibility of the client where required by law.

Payment terms, refund policies, and any late payment consequences will be specified in your client agreement. Bespoke Vows reserves the right to suspend or cease work if payment obligations are not met.

7. Intellectual Property

Ownership Prior to Full Payment

All scripts, outlines, and written materials produced by Bespoke Vows remain the intellectual property of Bespoke Vows until full payment has been received. Delivery of materials does not constitute transfer of ownership unless payment has been completed.

License Upon Full Payment

Upon receipt of full payment, the client receives a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use the written work for their ceremony and personal, non-commercial purposes. This license does not include the right to resell, sublicense, or publish the work commercially.

Portfolio and Promotional Use

Bespoke Vows retains the right to reference or adapt anonymized portions of commissioned work for portfolio or promotional purposes. If you wish to keep your ceremony content confidential, you must request this in writing prior to the commencement of services. A confidentiality request will be honored and confirmed in your client agreement.

Website Content

All content on www.bespokevows.com — including text, design elements, and other materials — is owned by or licensed to Bespoke Vows and is protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not reproduce, distribute, or use website content without our prior written consent.

8. Revisions

The number of included revisions will be specified in your client agreement. Revisions must be requested within the timeframe specified at the time of engagement.

Reasonable revisions to existing content are included as agreed. The following may be subject to additional fees:

  • Major changes to the narrative direction, tone, or structure of the ceremony

  • Additions of significant new content not discussed during the original consultation

  • Revisions requested after the agreed revision period has closed

All revision requests should be submitted in writing. We will confirm in writing whether any additional charges apply before proceeding.

9. Advertising and Data Collection

Bespoke Vows uses advertising measurement technologies — including pixels, cookies, and hashed identifier matching — to measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns and to reach prospective clients through platforms such as Meta (Facebook/Instagram) and Google.

By using this website, you acknowledge that these technologies may be active on the site. You may manage your preferences through the cookie consent controls available on this website, or opt out as described in our Privacy Policy.

Our collection and use of personal information, including for advertising purposes, is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference and is available at www.bespokevows.com/privacy-policy.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties

Bespoke Vows provides services and website content on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that:

  • The website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of viruses or other harmful components

  • The content on the website is complete, accurate, or current

  • The services will produce any specific outcome for your ceremony

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Bespoke Vows shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this website or our services, including but not limited to:

  • Ceremony delivery issues caused by officiants or third parties

  • Errors or omissions introduced after delivery of the final script

  • Event disruptions, cancellations, or circumstances beyond our control

  • Disputes arising from personal content or stories provided by the client

  • Any failure of an officiant to comply with local marriage licensing laws

In no event shall Bespoke Vows’s total liability to you for any claim arising out of or related to these Terms or the services exceed the total fees paid by you for the specific engagement giving rise to the claim.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you in full.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Bespoke Vows and its affiliates, contractors, and representatives from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

  • Your use of the website or services

  • Personal content, stories, or information you provide for inclusion in the ceremony

  • Your breach of these Terms

  • Any third-party claims arising from content spoken at your ceremony based on information you provided

13. Content Standards and Right to Decline

Bespoke Vows reserves the right to decline, revise, or remove any content that is:

  • Defamatory, discriminatory, or likely to constitute harassment of any individual or group

  • Unlawful or in violation of any applicable regulation

  • Sexually explicit, threatening, or otherwise inconsistent with professional standards

  • Factually false in a way that could expose any party to legal liability

If a content concern arises during an active engagement, we will notify you in writing and work with you to find an appropriate resolution. In cases of serious concern, we reserve the right to terminate the engagement subject to the payment terms in your client agreement.

14. Termination

Either party may terminate a service engagement prior to completion, subject to the payment terms agreed upon at the time of booking. Specifically:

  • If the client cancels after work has commenced, payment may be required for work completed up to the date of cancellation, as specified in the client agreement.

  • If Bespoke Vows terminates the engagement for reasons unrelated to client breach, we will refund any portion of prepaid fees attributable to work not yet completed.

  • If Bespoke Vows terminates due to client breach of these Terms or the client agreement, fees already paid may be forfeited in accordance with the terms agreed at booking.

Termination of an engagement does not affect any rights or obligations that accrued prior to termination, including payment obligations and intellectual property rights.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

Any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or the services that cannot be resolved informally will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Before initiating any formal proceedings, both parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute in good faith through direct communication. Either party may initiate this process by sending written notice of the dispute to the other party.

16. Consumer Rights — EEA and UK Users

If you are located in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, you may have statutory consumer rights that these Terms cannot limit or exclude. Nothing in these Terms is intended to affect any rights you have under applicable consumer protection law, including:

  • The right to services that are performed with reasonable care and skill

  • Rights under the EU Consumer Rights Directive or UK Consumer Rights Act 2015, as applicable

  • The right to seek redress through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms available in your jurisdiction

Where any provision of these Terms conflicts with your statutory consumer rights, your statutory rights will prevail to the extent of the conflict.

17. Modifications to These Terms

Bespoke Vows reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Updated Terms will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. For active engagements, any material changes will be communicated to you directly.

Your continued use of the website or services after updated Terms have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

18. General Provisions

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any applicable client agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Bespoke Vows with respect to your use of the website and services, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals.

No Waiver

Failure by Bespoke Vows to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce that provision in the future.
